We have a turkish argile with a very full coat of fur. She is miserable when her coat is full. She is slugish and looks depressed. We take her to the vet 1 time a year to have her shaved down-a lion cut. Once she is shaved she gains a new life. She is very active, bright and cheerful.
Unfortunately, the vet has to administer anesthesia so they can cut her fur down. We would like to have her fur cut 2 times a year However, we were told that administering anesthesia hurts the cat and can shorten her lifespan. So we feel reluctant to have her shaved(fur cut) however, she seems to be very happy while her fur is all the way down.
Is it true that administering her anesthesia will shorten her lifespan. Is ther a better way to accomplish this.
